JCU Introduction
Ball Up / Ball Down
In most installations, the M-Series will be mounted upright on top of a
mounting surface, with the pan/tilt base below the camera (this is known as
the “ball up” orientation). Optionally the unit may be hung upside down (“ball
down”). When installed ball down, it is necessary to configure the camera in
the ball down mode, so the video is properly displayed and the pan/tilt con-
trols operate as expected (information about how to configure the camera is
available in the System Operation and Configuration section).
Unless otherwise noted, the information in this manual generally assumes
an upright installation; refer to the Configuration Menus section for informa-
tion about ball down configurations.
Multiple Camera and JCU Options
More than one JCU can be used to control the camera, and more than one
display can be used to view the video. Also a single JCU can be used to con-
trol more than one camera.
Most often, the JCU and the video monitor are mounted close together, as
a pair, so the video can be viewed when the camera position (pan or tilt) is
changed with the JCU.
The JCU can be connected to the camera directly with the supplied double-
shielded Ethernet cable. In this case, the JCU draws its power from the
camera. Alternatively, the camera and the JCU can be connected together
via an Ethernet switch; this type of configuration allows more than one cam-
era and/or JCU to be used. The JCU draws its power over the Ethernet, so
a PoE injector or PoE switch is required.
If a single JCU is used to control more than one camera, the user can
select which camera is to be controlled through a menu on the JCU. In the
LCD display of the JCU, the name of the currently selected camera is dis-
played. When more than one JCU is installed in the system, a camera can
respond to commands from any JCU that is in the system.
JCU Introduction
The JCU is the primary method of control for the M-Series camera. It can
be used to move the camera (pan or tilt), electronically zoom the cameras in
and out, switch between infrared and visible-light cameras, adjust the image
quality, and access the on-screen menus.
